This is a freak incident that happened last week..    A young man and
his 4 yr old son went to a petrol bunk near Lal bagh (Bangalore) to fill
in petrol for his bike. The boy was sitting on the pillion behind him.
The helper who fills petrol held the petrol gun upwards, and turned
towards the meter to re-set the meter. As soon as the setting was done
the petrol came out gushing out of the gun- due to some malfunction -
(atleast that's what they said)in full speed and splashed all over the 4
yr old boy and his father. Petrol entered the eyes of the boy.
Immiediately the boy was taken into the cleaning area and was showered
in a water jet. They washed his eyes with lot of water. But the boy
could not see anything. The young man took the child to the hospital and
immediately the hospital authorities put him in ICU. The kid was
transferred to Vittala Netralaya & after 2 days of treatment he got some
vision again. Now he is alright and is at home. The doctors told that
just because the water cleaning was done immediately, he has vision
today otherwise the boy would have been blind by now.
Petrol (along with impurities) can burn the tissues inside the eye.

Please take some precautions next time you are at a petrol bunk.

1. If the engine was in running condition, this cud has caused a major
Fire. So Switch off the engine in bunks.
 
2. Drop small kids and the person sitting behind you outside the bunk
and fill in petrol. Kids are more sensitive than grown ups.

3. Ask the petrol bunk helper boy to hold the gun down. Even if there is
such an accident let the petrol flow down and not on your face.

4. Send this e-mail to as many people as possible, as many of our
friends use two wheelers.

ALLAH MALIK!
